A pigment paste and a method for making the same that alters the appearance of concrete such that, after the concrete sets, it resembles natural stone concrete sets, it resembles natural stone (e.g., marble, granite, sandstone, bluestone, etc.) without separately applying a finish of any kind to the concrete are provided. The pigment paste preferably comprises a filler, a pigment, an anti-foaming agent, a surfactant, and water. In some embodiments, the surfactant is a water reducing admixture. A concrete compound having a finish resembling natural stone is made by combining the pigment paste with a concrete mix, which includes a cementitious material with aggregate and water, and a chemical admixture. Upon adding the pigment paste and mixing it, the cementitious material is allowed to set, where, after it sets, the concrete has a finish resembling natural stone.

A programmable logic integrated circuit device has several features which help it perform according to the PCI Special Interest Group's Peripheral Component Interface (“PCI”) signaling protocol. Some of the registers on the device are closely coupled for data input and output to data signal input/output pins of the device. The clock signal input terminals of at least these registers are also closely coupled to the clock signal input pin of the device. Programmable input delay is provided between the data signal input/output pins and the data input terminals of the above-mentioned registers to help compensate for clock signal skew on the device.

An iono-refractive structure that includes one or more ion insertion layers having a real portion and an imaginary portion of the dielectric constant is provided. While both the real portion and the imaginary portion of the dielectric constant change, the change in the imaginary portion is less than the change in the real portion at the wavelength of interest or at the operational wavelength. The iono-refractive structure may be suitable for the fabrication of or integration with tunable optical filters, wavelength-selective optical elements, active modulated interferometers, optical phase shifters, optical phased array beam steering, optical phased array beam tracking, tunable optical filters, sensors, variable lenses, tunable diffraction gratings, and other optical components.

A system (510) routes packets in a network (200) having multiple nodes. The system identifies a group (500) of the nodes (520–550) and determines routing distances to each of them. The system (510) then selects a set of the nodes from the group (500) based on the determined routing distances and updates a routing table based on the selection. The system (510) routes packets through the network (200) using the updated routing table.
摘要:
Fine tuned signal phase adjustments are provided by multiple cascaded phase mixers. Each phase mixer outputs a signal having a phase between the phases of its two input signals. With each subsequent stage of phase mixers, the signals generated by the phase mixers have a smaller phase difference, thereby providing finer delay adjustments. Multiple stages of phase mixers can be provided in digital delay-locked loop circuitry to provide additional hierarchical delay adjustment.

摘要:
An apparatus for identification of chemical species by measurement of mobility as a function of high electric field and for generating unique compound-dependent signatures based on ion mobility at a plurality of peak RF voltages for a given compensation. The resulting detection data is compared against a library of data in order to identify a detected chemical species.
摘要:
A system for the compression and decompression of image files is provided. A library of basic waveforms is produced by applying selected digital initialization codes to a chaotic system. Each basic waveform is in one-to-one correspondence with an initialization code. A weighted sum of selected basic waveforms is used to approximate each slice of an image. The basic waveforms are then discarded and only the weighting factors and the corresponding initialization codes are stored in a compressed image file. When the compressed image file is decompressed for playback, the stored initialization codes are stripped out and applied to a similar chaotic system to regenerate the basic waveforms, which are recombined according to the stored weighting factors to produce an approximation of the original image slice.
